Summary:
|
|
The Perris Union High School District would like to enter into an Agreement with Turnitin for a one (1) year subscription for software licenses for the 2023-24 school year. The English Language Arts (ELA) Subject Area Council (SAC) is comprised of ELA Department Chairs across the District. In 2019, the ELA SAC proposed a solution to promote originality and proper citations for student work samples ranging from essays to performance tasks. The group reviewed different programs and unanimously approved Turnitin as the tool to address this need. Turnitin will allow teachers to focus their time and energy on providing feedback to students on the content of their writing as opposed to validating originality and monitoring plagiarism.
Turnitin is an online software program that supports academic integrity, effective feedback, and peer review for student writing. It also provides feedback to students on their use of source material with the world’s largest content comparison database. It highlights original writing and proper citation. When institutions adopt Turnitin Feedback Studio, unoriginal work decreases by 33 percent, and students are challenged to think more critically.
The term of this Agreement shall be from September 10, 2023, through September 9, 2024, for a total cost of $37,775. |
